You’re absolutely not wrong. I have the luxury of just using YouTube to watch golf videos and some niche hobby stuff; I clock in at less than a few hours a week. So, I could easily use that time on the treadmill or riding in a car to read, watch scripted media, or write my DND modules. My consumption of YT is far below most, so I’m certainly an outlier.
but in honestly, thats mostly because of covid, and a lot of the intelligent, reasonable people I used to watch falling face first into the conspiracy pit and going absolutely fucking braindead.
Speaking in general, and not about you specifically…
but I’ve seen so many people scream “if company does X, I’m not buying/using their product anymore!”
And company does X
And they scream about it for… a week, then go back to using it, and buying the next version, and singing its praises after the controversy passes.
So I have no faith that the general consumer has the willpower or the give a fuck to stop using these things.
and individuals like you and me, who do actually stop using them, are so rare as to not actually matter.

My YT consumption has declined drastically.
